The lockdown at the US Capitol in Washington has been lifted after shots were fired outside the Hart Senate office building. Officials say one police officer was shot and injured, according to media reports.

As a warning sounded inside the Capitol after the initial reports of shots fired, the House of Representatives abruptly went into recess and the Senate also suspended business, the Associated Press reported.

The White House was also quickly locked down.
